Have you ever wished you could effortlessly blend the timeless charm of in-store jewellery shopping with the cutting-edge convenience of online technology? With AI, that wish is not just a dream—it’s the future of retail jewellery. Let’s explore how artificial intelligence can transform your business and give your customers an unforgettable shopping experience, both online and offline.

How AI Enhances Customer Engagement

Your customers deserve an experience that makes them feel special, and AI helps you achieve this by delivering highly personalized interactions, both online and in-store. Here’s how:

Automating the Customer Journey
AI handles everything from the moment a customer shows interest to after they’ve made a purchase. This not only ensures a seamless experience but also gives you more time to focus on what matters—delivering quality service and beautiful products.

Turn Leads into Loyals

With AI, you can turn casual browsers into loyal customers. By analyzing data from multiple touchpoints—whether it’s a walk-in, an Instagram inquiry, or a lead from an exhibition—AI centralizes lead management for seamless follow-up and conversion. It helps you track customer journeys and engage with them through personalized offers, driving long-term loyalty.

Personalized Recommendations

Imagine having a system that understands your customers’ preferences, past purchases, and even current trends to suggest the perfect piece of jewellery. With AI-powered recommendation engines, that’s exactly what you get. Whether it’s helping a customer find an engagement ring based on their browsing history or suggesting the ideal bracelet to match their style, AI enables you to tailor each experience to their tastes.

Customer Service Chatbots

Providing 24/7 customer service can be a challenge, but AI-powered chatbots make it easy. These intelligent systems can answer questions, help with product recommendations, track orders, and offer personalized assistance at any time. Not only does this improve customer satisfaction, but it also frees up your team to focus on complex queries that require a human touch.

Virtual Try-Ons
With augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) powered by AI, customers can virtually try on your jewellery from the comfort of their homes. This makes it easier for them to visualize how a product looks on them in real time, helping them make more confident purchase decisions while reducing return rates. This is a huge win for both your online and in-store shopping experiences.

Optimize Inventory Management 

AI-driven systems predict demand, optimize stock levels, and reduce excess inventory by analyzing sales data and market trends. This ensures popular items stay in stock, minimizing stockouts and overstock, leading to better inventory control and financial management.

Indian Jewellery Exporters Breathe Easy temporarily as US Court Blocks Tariff Rise

Published

on

1,285 views

In a significant development for Indian gem and jewellery exporters, a US Federal court has temporarily halted President Donald Trump’s proposed ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs, which were set to substantially increase duties on imported goods, including jewellery. The ruling has been welcomed by the industry, which had been preparing for tariff increases from 6% to as high as 26%.

The Court of International Trade in Manhattan deemed the executive orders issued on April 2 as “unlawful.” These orders aimed to implement a 10% baseline tariff on most US imports, with even steeper rates for countries with substantial trade surpluses — including China, the European Union, and initially, India. The 26% tariff targeting Indian gem and jewellery exports was scheduled to take effect on April 9 but had been postponed to July 9 due to ongoing legal challenges.

According to a newspaper report, the proposed tariff hike would have had a severe financial impact on exporters. Jewellery manufacturers operating in SEEPZ, which account for 64% of India’s $3.5 billion in annual jewellery shipments to the US, would have seen upfront duties per million-dollar consignment jump from $60,000 to $320,000. This would have further strained their cash flows at a time when global demand remains weak.

While the court’s decision does not address all of the industry’s challenges, it provides crucial temporary relief and highlights the need for consistent trade policies to support India’s standing in the global gem and jewellery market.

Ruling court nullifies Trump tariffs – AUGMONT BULLION REPORT

  • Gold stabilizes in a range as a court decision overturns Trump’s tariffs, increasing risk appetite and depressing the greenback. After the U.S. Court of International Trade determined on Wednesday that Trump had overreached himself by using emergency powers to impose high tariffs on the majority of the nation’s trading partners, gold prices rose.
  • On Thursday, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released its initial update on the country’s first-quarter economic growth. According to the agency, the US GDP decreased by 0.2% over that time, which was less than the 0.4% decline that was anticipated and less than the 0.3% decline that the bureau had initially projected.
  • While acknowledging certain stagflation concerns, policymakers pointed out that the Committee may have to make tough trade-offs if inflation turns out to be more persistent and growth and employment prospects deteriorate.

Technical Triggers  

  • Gold prices are expected to trade in the range of $3270 (~Rs 95000) and $3370 (~Rs 96400) in the near term. Either side breakout or breakdown will give 2-3% movement.
  • Silver prices are expected to trade in the range of $32.5(~Rs 96000) and $34(~Rs 99000) in the near term.
